ULA, United Lobbyists of America.


Today's Tids Issue 2,983
Opening Stuff:

Rose was going to change her name, but the judge said it wouldn't make any difference.

South Carolina is moving quickly to the passage of a bill that would exempt all state businesses and citizens from ACA. It is a true test of the states as soveriegn entities,  versus a common misconception of merely being distribution centers for Federal mandates. This ole' State's Righter is keeping a keen eye on this one.

On another note, a noted expert in education from Finland, one of the best countries in the world at producing learned children, says that one of the main problems affecting US education is the over involvement of the federal government. He says the main ingredient is child-teacher trust. and local needs. The US, he says, is administer centric instead of teacher centric.

The new theme song for the admin seems to be "Send in the Hacks". I can hear Judy Collins singing it now.

The Question:
What are considered the Top 10 Cutest Animals? Bonus: What do observers say will be the legacy of the 900 page Volcker Rule?

Now that Michelle is out of the country, I thought I'd use the opportunity to give you a recipe for good ole' Southern Sausage gravy.

Last night the Five finalists on The Voice made it really hard to pick a winner. It was one of the better entertainment nights of the season, mainly because they picked songs with melodies. With each succeeding singer I said, "wow that was great." til the end where I heard Tisanne singing Bridge Over Troubled Waters", which was really, really great. She has the best voice, but Jacquie Lee is remarkable too, and she is just 16. So looking back at all before the early "Wow's!" I remember Wolpert being a little weak in the beginning, and needing more emotion for the end. Will is as professional as anybody, but had a few clumsy transitions. Cole was excellent, but could have sold the song a bit more by showing a little more emotion in addition to shouting out the big finish. Jacquie tends to get a little screechy, but last night controlled it better. Two are out and three stay after tonight's elimination show. I'm picking Tisanne Chin, Jacquie Lee and Cole Vosbury to stay. 

Color me Red, Department:
There is evidence that the most powerful person in America is Iranian born Presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett. She hired the most leftist of the Tzars and cabinet Secretaries, and has been the back channel in the recent Iran negotiations. She doesn't think like many of us, but she is voice that everybody including the President listens too.

Well, GM isn't state owned anymore. Do you think that the unions may have learned that over demanding will boot a global company out of buisness. Or do you think the unions feel if we keep electing Obama types, we will get companies we ruin back in business.

Today, GM named a 51 year old woman, Mary Barra, as their CEO who on January 15 will be taking over for outgoing Dan Ackerman who is leaving to help his wife fight cancer. I won't make any sexist remarks.

The story in today's news says that it was quite the sight seeing President Obama shaking the hand of Raul Castro -- "two men of different ideologies!" -- it said. Really?

My doctor asked me if I'd like to see a nutritionist. I told her that the nutritionist would probably hate me. She seemed perplexed.

The Conscience: Chapter 30 continues.
     "He's pretty much a mystery man, isn't he?" Chuck and Joe seemd a little nervous about this discussion. People around the world have heard his name, but he is considered elusive and incredibly well protected.
     Sanna saw their hesitation immediately. She was very good of finding weaknesses in foes and allies alike. "He is what you say, but he surfaced yesterday at Bernard, and I hear our favorite drunk and he seemed to connect." She looked at the stony eyes of her killers and all around amoral handymen. "I don't want anything to happen to Morgan, but you have to find out more about the connection."
     Chuck's eyes lit up like he had just found a cure for cancer, "Isn't Smith a a partner of Washington? Maybe Washington can help you...
    "I don't want help from Washington. If I wanted his help, I would have already thought about it myself." Her eyes narrowed as she cut off the two killers. They got the message. She's always in charge.
  "So you don't want us to kill him. or bomb him or break his legs...whaddawe do, just watch him?"
   "Smith owns a marine engine plant in the UK. It needs a little of your explosive charm." Now the boys smiled.
   They got up to leave, but Sanna pulled on Chuck's jacket sleeve. "Stay for a drink. Bruno," she nodded ot her bodyguard and strongman, "will take Joe to the other room to fill in the details." Chuck's grin broadened.

The Answer:
Have you taken your insulin, because this is sugary sweet: #1 is the fluff ball otherwise known as the Agora Rabbit. Next is the African Pygmy Hedgehog which is followed by the Harp Seal, Red Panda, Sea Otter, Baby Elephant, Koala, Bunnies, Doggies and Kitties. Cute is hard to resist. Bonus: "Make them boring again." The rule is designed to force banks into taking good care of depositors money again, and eliminate risk and creative adventures..

Our weather forecasters are dying to have gigantic storm so they can get out on the street in there parkas, like their pals across the country. Today isn't it.

If you came across some odd looking words it's because my "G" is not workin well!
